Rick N. MI Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Adjust the ground balance on the board in disc and you will gain quite a bit more depth. You can a little negative that is Monte's power balancing I sure you know. I adjusted my gb in all metal and it's to hot in disc. It's one my favorites. Keith Southern has a youtube video showing one he adjusted. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27653-just-picked-up-a-very-nice-tesoro-lobo/#findComment-290247 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only ever see Supertraq in England. Never seen the original, a special tool.

Rick N. MI Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The original Lobo would be interesting. It has an external ground balance. I wouldn't mind finding one of those. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27653-just-picked-up-a-very-nice-tesoro-lobo/#findComment-290259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen the original, a special tool. Jealous! Their original 20 kHz Lobo was designed by Tesoro founder Jack Gifford. Dave Johnson designed the 17.5 kHz Lobo SuperTRAQ, totally different detector, different coils. The original Lobo had an adjustable ground balance in all metal mode, but the disc mode was preset internally. This made the machine less effective at nugget hunting while in disc mode. The SuperTRAQ solved this by running in ground tracking in all metal mode, then when you switched to disc mode it locked in the last ground balance setting taken from the all metal mode. So with the ST you always wanted to ground balance first in all metal before switching to disc mode. 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27653-just-picked-up-a-very-nice-tesoro-lobo/#findComment-290682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago That's good to know on the Lobo ground balance. I'll just use my Lobo ST then.
